"""
Zoom, the video conferencing service whose use has spiked amid the
Covid-19 pandemic, claims to implement end-to-end encryption, widely
understood as the most private form of internet communication,
protecting conversations from all outside parties. In fact, Zoom is
using its own definition of the term, one that lets Zoom itself access
unencrypted video and audio from meetings.

As I type, I am dutifully installing zoom to participate in remote
tutorials for COMP3310 Computer Networks at ANU.  Good case study.
